DESCRIPTION:# Overview\nWith a constant evolution of technologies\, life sc
 ientists (such as laboratory **biologists**) are faced with an increasing 
 need for **bioinformatics skills** to deal with high-throughput data stora
 ge\, retrieval and analysis.\n\nAlthough several resources developed for s
 uch tasks have a web interface (most of the time\, the first choice of bio
 logists)\, many operations can be more efficiently handled with command-li
 ne programs and utilities.\n\n# Audience\nThis course is addressed to **be
 ginners** wanting to become familiar with the UNIX environment and master 
 the most common commands\, which could be useful to run software dedicated
  to **high-throughput data management**.\n\n# Learning objectives\nAt the 
 end of the course you should:\n* be able to execute most basic UNIX comman
 ds\n* be able to build complex and combined commands using various paramet
 ers\n* be sufficiently skilled for further courses requiring basics of UNI
 X\, like HPC or NGS courses\n\n\n# Prerequisites\n***Knowledge / competenc
 ies***\n\nAs it is a course for beginners\, no background in UNIX or any p
 rogramming language is required.\n\n***Technical***\n\nA laptop with a com
 mand line **terminal installed**. The alternative for Windows users is to 
 download a virtual machine image and thus at least 10 Go free on hard disk
  and 4 Go of RAM are required.\n\n# Application\n\nRegistration fees are *
 *100 CHF** for academics and **500 CHF** for for-profit companies.\n\nDead
 line for registration and free-of-charge cancellation is set to *14/08/202
 2*. Cancellation after this date will not be reimbursed. Please note that 
 participation to SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](https:
 //www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\nYou will be informed by
  email of your registration confirmation.\n\n # Venue and time\nThe course
  will take place at the University of Lausanne. It will start at 9:00 CET 
 and end around 17:00 CET. The participants will get detailed information b
 efore the course.\n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Grégoire Ro
 ssier - SIB Training Group\n\nWe will recommend 0.25 ECTS credits for this
  course (given a passed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome
  to register to the SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future 
 courses and workshops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form 
 [here](https://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/courses).\n\nSIB abides by

 duct). Participants of SIB courses are also required to abide by the same 
 code.\n\nFor more information\, please contact [training@sib.swiss](mailto
